To the FROPMETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS the ELECTION at the India-House is fixed for Tuesday next, January 16, I take the liberty of earnestly requesting the honour of your Attendance and Sup port on that Day. My reliance is, and always has been, upon your knowledge cf my Condul as a Proprietor ; that Condutl has, in no in r,tance,sproceeded from a wish 'to serve myself, but from a de ire to maintain. the just rights, and to promote thp perma nent interests of the Company: And if, by your favour, should be placed in the Diredion, I . never will depart from , thoe It has been my wish to wait personally upon the Proprie tors as much as I possibly could ; when in ahy instance I have not done so, I trust that the omission will not be at tri 'buted to want of rcspea, but to the extensive nature of the Canvass, when compared with the time in which I had to accomplish it. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, very respedfirily, Your most obedient, and very humble Servant, RICHARD TWINING. _ . _ Strand . , Tan. io, t.gte. - ' ' - Mr. Twining's Committee meet daily at the King's Head, iti. the Poultry, where all Communications will be ;hank_ 1 u t :y receivscl.

The following Resolutions were proposed by Sir G E 0 R G E DALLAS, Bart. and seconded by Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Bart. ist, Resolved Unanimously, That, upon various and important occasions, Mr. Twi ning has given the most unequivocal proofs of his attachment to the East India Company, and of his disposition and ability to secure the Rights ; and to advance stlie Interests of the prietors in general. 2d, Resolved Unanimdusly, - That such condui taffurds Mr. Twining reasonable ground for confiding in the .support of ,the Proprietbrs at this im portant juncture; when the terms upon which the Charter may be renewed, will probably depend, in a great degree, upon the requ.7itequalifications of those G entlenien, who may bd placed in the Direttion. Resolved Unanimously, . , Tbat Mr. Twining indisputably does possess those requi. ' site qUalifications, and that they are neither less likely• to prove beneficial to the Company, nor less deserVing Of s'tip pert, because they have called .forth tbe Voluntary and ho. nourable recommendation of so great a majority of the Pi vedors ; but that, on the contrary. a good understanding and ?: .4 firm co-operation between the Rroprietors and .the Direc tors, are so peculiarly requisite, at this time, that every at - tempt to lessen that good understanding, Or to weaken that co-operation, should be consicieroa as an attempt, - which, - ,.,_whatever the intention of it may be, cannot fail of proving highly injurious to the interests of the Company. 4.th,.. Resolved UnaniinouslY, Therefore that, not only as triends to Mr. Twining, and his ..vell-groundedhope of support, but also a real friends and • well-wishers to the East India. CimpAny, we will "colititiue to exert every fair and honourable endeavour' to secure his EkeEtion : and in this endeavour we earnestly and conscien tiously exhort the Proprietors in general to unite with us.

TO MOTHERS AND NURSES: MI IS. MERCHANT', No. 3, Middlesex-street, Somers -town, has experienced one of the greatest bles sings in human nature, that of being restored to a dear Child, which to all appearance was at death's door. Her tleat'Cliild was in a consumption, and lay several days in convul sions., with his 'feet!), when a friend gave her half a bottle of the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP; the Mother no sooner rubbed it on his gums than he began to mend, and had a good night, which was the srst for three weeks, and is now fully restored, though he was triite taken off. his feet. : - TO be had of the Proprietors, I. lohnson, and Co. 94, liewrnan-street,.

THE SUN, SOLEM F4l.lUbf MJDEAT L 0 ND 0 N, THURSDAY, JANUARY ll,_ 1810. We yesterday mentioned the arrival of an Ame rican frigate in the Channel. Our Peal Correspon dent states, that she arrived in the Downs last night. The first Lieutenant was immediately landed, and he proceeded to town with dispatches for the Ame rican Minister. By this conveyance we receivo .4merica Papers to the 16th ultimo. Their con tents are most important, and nnfortnnately confirm the observations which we have repeatedly made upon the hostile disposition of the Ametican pp ygroment towards this C.owitry. The violence of the measures which they have adopted seems to . proceed from a fixed determination to 'render all pegociation impraaicable, and to force this country into a war with America. The very strong, and almost unprecedented measure of declining all intercourse with Mr JACItSON, did pot appear to . the American Executive sufficiently insult ing to that Gentleman or to this CapntrY; there fore a Bill has been proposed to Congress to enable the President to send out a the Country offending Foreign .Ministers, Previous to the intr3duaion of this Bill, a Resolution had been parised, stath4g, that .thecond,net of Mr. .TAcxsoil had been. ". indecorous, insolent, and affronting."-- 7 Some other Resolutions have been proposed, p4rporting to, be of a cornmer... cal nature, and to bp direded equally zigainst Enaland and France, althova-h they are ohyi 7 gusty meant to affect th,e former- According to, the principles laid down in these Resolutions, Ameri ca ought to follow the example of England, and as we give licenses to trade to Fiance and such parts of the Continent as are under her power, they ought to assume the right of granting us licenses to trade o tire Brazils and the Spanish Main. That is to sty, that because we forbid, except under certain re-, striaions, all trade with a Country with which we are 'at war, and which we have placed in a state of blockade, they not being a belligerent Power, have a right to interdi& .a trade between two other Powers in amity with each other. S.o absurd a proposition was, we believe, never before ad-, vanced in an nQ , :f.nllll3 , utulgs. But the reasoning upon which this proposition is supported is, if possible, still more ridiculous than the proposition itself. They do not pretend to ex clude us from the trade of i the Brazils and the.Spa nigh Main, because we have no right to trade there, or because they have an exclusive or superior right ; but they say, " you shall not trade to these places -without our express permission, because-- have as good *a right to trade there as you have !" In lad, the American Government seem not only to Le determined to go to war with us, but to be really angry because ve have given no plausible ground of quarrA. These Papers also contain the annual American • , • Budget, and in the statements which it contains we should have thought that the Americans would have found some strong prudential reasons for not going to, war with this country. Mr G,ALLA,TIN, the Secretary to the American Treasury, acknowledges that, by the t-nb,argo, ailed other restrictions upon . commerce, the Revenues of America have been re- . duced, in little more than two years, from sixteen . millions of dollars, to about six Millions and a half. So that it now appears, by official documents, that Mr, JEFFERSON'S ingenioussystem of pacific hosti% against us, which was to ruin ow West India Colonies, and to reduce Great Britain to implore a reconciliation with America, has ended in the rapid improvement of our own North American Colonies, and in the dimi nution of nearly two-thirds of the American Reve nue. Mr. MADDISON having found, by experience' the inconvenience of persisting any longer in this sys'em, seems determined to try the elfed of a little thive hostility against Great Britain. Not withstanding the ' repeated, and almost unin : terrnpted aggressions of tt)e . American Govern- ment, we shall see with great regret a war between the two countries, but we have no doubt that if they do force us to a war, they wilt very speedily hare reason to lament their rashness- Mr: C-ALLATIN says, their Revenues are' not equal to the expenditure by one million three hundred thousand dollars, and that even if peace should con-: tinue, they must have recourse to a loan; in the event of a war, the loan must be proportionably greater, because not only their expellees will, be much augmented, but their Revenue will be greatly diminished. Almost the whole of the American Revenue depends tipop their custom-house duties and it is hardly nece4sary to . obserye, that in a tuaritimp war with this country-, the great and, in,dced, almost the only source of their Revenue must be destroy, d. The fa& is, the American Government deeply feel the impolicy 001*r Embargo and Non-intercourse system, and they do not know how to get out of the wir..ward and embarrassing situation in which their rancour against this Country has placed them ; thejr pride will not let them retreat—their interest will pot suffer them to persist in their prest* system; it is possible therefore that they will force on a War,' as an effectual though desperate mode of ex tricating them from their present 4ifficulties. The unfortunate Dutch are attempting to prevent the incorporation of their Country with France, by offering every pecuniary sacrifice to BooNApAliTit that he can require, But this proposal may he con sidered as nugatory,for what can they offer that he does not already consider as his own ? He will, therefore, most probably order the to produce all their stores, and then he will of course dispose of their Country just as he pleases, without any regard to their in, tegsts and feelings. Yesterday, soop after twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's Palace from Wind. , or,, where he was received by the pukes of YoaK, KEN; aud CUMBERLAND.
